Ingredients
  

Sugar cookie bases
  • 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough Use the tube version for quick, even mini rounds.
Cream cheese frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese Soften before mixing for a smooth, spreadable frosting.
  • 0.5 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Patriotic fruit toppings
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
Apricot glaze (optional)
  • 2 tbsp apricot jam For a glossy finish over fruit, if desired.
  • 1 tbsp water Mixed with jam for glaze consistency.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie rounds
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 1/2-inch rounds and place on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  2. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone. Cool completely to room temperature.
Make the cream cheese frosting
  1. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Scrape the bowl as needed so the frosting spreads evenly.
Assemble mini fruit pizzas
  1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border. Work gently so the cookie stays intact.
  2. Decorate each mini pizza with strawberry slices, blueberries, and raspberries in a flag stripe pattern, star shape, or scattered design. Aim for varied layouts so each bite looks different.
  3. Warm the apricot jam and mix with water, then brush fruit lightly for a glossy finish if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For clean slices and tidy mini pies, cool the cookies fully before frosting, and refrigerate the assembled pizzas to firm up the frosting. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; do not freeze assembled pizzas for best texture. Dietary swap: use lactose-free cream cheese for a lactose-reduced version while keeping the same frosting method.
